Adverse impact on the team at all. He has come back and apologized. Reporter culliver even said today he would welcome a gay teammate in the future. Thats not what i feel in my heart. And i treat everyone equal in any type of way. So not how i feel. Reporter in santa clara, anne makovec, cbs 5. It is called operation red zone. Its a massive crackdown on fake sports merchandise being sold here in the bay area. I. C. E. Agents intercepted 300,000 of counterfeit nfl merchandise. Tonight at 5 00, how rampant the phony merchandise is on the days leading up to the super bowl. Thats coming up tonight at 5 00. Meanwhile, 9er pride is still sweeping the bay area. Cate caugiran is live along the embarcadero where everywhere you look you see red and gold and thats exactly what mayor ed lee wants to see, right, cate. Reporter yeah, i dont think thats going to be too hard to see around the city. We have been sort of all around. San francisco is just overflowing with 49ers pride. We did a couple of stops along the city today just to check it out as we are days way from the big game. Yesterday mayor lee declared that it would be red and gold weekend couraging fans and local businesses to show off their 49ers pride by sporting the team logo or colors. The citys devotion to the super bowl bound 49ers, local graffiti artist steve and tim have aptly named their 30foot masterpiece the city bleeds gold. The mural was developed on a rooftop using rock climbing gear to get up that high. If this is any indication of whats going to happen on sunday, the 9ers may have something to worry about. This is the San Francisco zoos black rhino named boon. He was supposed to eat the Baltimore Ravens for breakfast this morning. Zookeepers created the ravens logo out of boones breakfast vegetables and then let him in to eat it but instead he ate the go 9ers instead and boone is named after the 49ers right tackle alex the rhino boone. We think he may have been confused thinking he was supposed to eat the winner. We are told by his keepers he has a bit of intuition. He is pretty attuned to his football. He really enjoys football. And i think his message today was that the 9ers are going to do it. Zoo workers told me they have a bet with the maryland zoo should the 49ers win the maryland zoo will rename its ravens exhibit to the 49ers and if the ravens win, San Francisco zoo will rename its boone exhibit for a month. The zoo is doing Something Special on super bowl sunday. Parents, if you bring your kids 14 and younger to the zoo and they are wearing 49ers gear they get in for free. Live in San Francisco, cate caugiran, cbs 5. Everyones getting in the spirit. Thank you, cate. Meanwhile, new orleans and San Francisco very different cities yes but in some ways very similar, as well. Michelle griego found out many in San Francisco say they owe San Francisco for how the city looks today. Reporter when people around the world think of the vieux carre they think of scenes like this but it almost looks like this. Were not talking about a highway. Were talking about an act of barbarism. Reporter it would stand 40 feet tall and six lanes wide 3. 5 miles of it running between the Mississippi River and the citys iconic st. Louis cathedral. [ church bells ] Jackson Square, the highway. Gone. No access to the river. Its over. Reporter and the damage wouldnt end there. All you see in front of us, all these trees, all the grassy grounds are gone. This is an up ramp to an elevated highway. Both the mayor, the governor, the city council, all wanted that elevated highway in the worst way. Reporter so a small group of new orleanians went to war. We were the underdogs. Reporter until reinforcements arrived from San Francisco. They wouldnt accept a nickel. They came on their own to save the city of new orleans from an elevated highway based on their experience in San Francisco with the embarcadero. Never seen anything like it. Reporter the San Francisco brigades best weapon, one single image. We had a photograph of the embarcadero as it passed in front of the Ferry Building in San Francisco. And we juxtaposed a drawing that we did of the vieux carre riverfront expressway elevated in front of Jackson Square and we sent this out as a Christmas Card all over america. Reporter with that shot, the project was defeated. The tide of urban freeways was turned. And new orleans was saved. We owe San Francisco big time. Reporter as for the embarcadero freeway San Francisco doesnt want to be walled in or walled up from our waterfront. Reporter a demolition project new orleans never had to bother with. For me to be able to sit on this balcony with cocktails in the afternoon and look out and know that that concrete up ramp is not here and that the trees are here, the grounds are here, it makes the oldfashioned taste better than it would ordinarily.

Other myths that breastfeeding protects the infant against obesity. It doesnt. The p. E. Classes keep kids slim in they that p. E. Classes keep kids slim. They dont.
